The same reactionary wingnuts who used to fret a lot about hormones and sports have abruptly pivoted. Not long ago, figures like Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. were hell-bent on keeping testosterone, the elixir of their gods, in its gendered lane. Now they want athletes of all sexes to surge with male hormones. They’ve become pro-doping.
Thus the Enhanced Games (yep, that’s the name), nominally a steroids-addled sports event but in fact a eugenics experiment venture-capitalized with max virility by Thiel and Don Jr… For extra manly pow, the event’s CEO is Aron D’Souza, a Thiel pal who spearheaded Thiel’s crusade against Gawker Media for the crime of press freedoms.
A weird statistical mix of dumb evil people stumbling into a good situation for themselves on the heels of a lot of good technology created that was deployed completely irresponsibly, it’s like winning the shithead lottery. Only saving grace is that they’re so dumb the smarts can correct it easily, (lead, IP addresses, or otherwise) but it could still get much worse as anyone that knows business, the dumbs in business can drag the whole company into the deep despite smart people trying to stop the drowning. Smarts can’t just come out and slap the dumbs in government though, because ersatz rules and potential death. So it has to be a long-game, that hopefully ends with the dumbs having a painful terrible end, I’d even add confusing as an acceptable feeling in that end state, even though it is cruel, because they deserve it. They’ll never learn anyway, and they are laser-focused on cruelty to anyone they don’t like, so they really should get to personally enjoy the Old Testament shit themselves. Also why correct 2A peeps haven’t acted yet. Risk is too high when you have a pea shooter and some really stupid people are holding the nuclear football.
Big plus though, even if Mango had unicorn piss connections for long life, his heart is failing and he’s going to have a Big Mac Shit soon that will take him to a place even the Christian Satan wouldn’t want to touch. Probably slightly longer than the usual 6 month time period because child soul injections, but less than a year, probably.
The most annoying part of the now thought, where are the oil barons? Truthfully. Fixing the planet so we get to keep living here is so insanely profitable. There should be so many people plugging solar or wind or old mines as water batteries. The US regression is so confounding.
